Assuming that your x86 machine is running a real OS, and has X
available, it's pretty trivial.  Just install OpenSSH on both machines,
and enable X11 forwarding in the sshd_config on the SS1+, and in the
ssh_config on the x86 box.  When you ssh from the x86 box to the SS1+ in
X, running X apps on the SS1+ will have them showing up on your local
display.  Really slick and easy.
